About Doriece
Doriece Choy is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Illinois with 13 years of experience as a therapist. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, bipolar, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems.
Doriece uses practical, person-centered methods in sessions. She helps people notice what is working and build confidence in small steps. Sessions are conversational and focused on clear, realistic goals rather than abstract theory. She aims to help people feel heard and to develop habits that support daily life.
In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different responses. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and coping during intense moments.
Her style is collaborative: she works alongside clients week to week and adjusts the approach as needs change. For parents and adults managing family conflict, she helps untangle patterns that keep stress and communication problems repeating. For people facing addiction, grief, or mood challenges she focuses on practical coping and steady progress.
Doriece conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they shape reactions today. Online sessions can use this work to identify interaction patterns and practice new ways of relating to partners or family members. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions. In an online appointment CBT can include short exercises, worksheets, and behavior experiments to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful when parenting stress or relationship conflict spikes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist partners with each client to pick what fits their goals and daily life. That collaborative process helps translate therapeutic tools into practical changes rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online appointments easier to schedule around childcare, work breaks, or local commitments. Some sessions may be shorter check-ins while others focus on skill practice or problem-solving. The emphasis is on tools that can be used between sessions and on making therapy fit into a busy household routine.
